Glycolic acid is one of the popular ingredients in cosmetic products and is often used in various exfoliating and rejuvenating products. Its preparation from The Ordinary brand is known as "Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution".
Using glycolic acid has several benefits for the skin:
Exfoliation
Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface. This improves skin texture and gives it smoothness.
Brightening
Glycolic acid helps reduce the visibility of dark spots and pigmentation irregularities. Regular use can help brighten the skin.
Wrinkle Smoothing
Glycolic acid can help improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It helps support the production of collagen and elastin.
Sweat Neutralization
An excellent alternative to deodorants, plus without fragrance, which can be a benefit in some cases. At the same time, it brightens darker skin in the underarm area.
When choosing products with glycolic acid, it is important to consider your skin type. Glycolic acid is most suitable for normal and dry skin. For sensitive skin, it should be used with caution and in lower concentrations.
Use
When using glycolic acid, it is important to follow the correct procedures:
Start Gradually
If you are new to using glycolic acid, start with a lower concentration and gradually increase the frequency and duration of exposure. This will help your skin adjust and minimize the risk of irritation
Apply Sunscreen
Glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to sun exposure. Therefore, it is important to use a sunscreen with high SPF during the day.
Combining with Other Products
Glycolic acid can be combined with other ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or retinol. However, when combining with other active ingredients, it is important to consider their compatibility and the correct order of application. It may be helpful to consult with a dermatologist or beauty expert (for example, with us :) to get suitable recommendations for your specific skin type.
It is important to keep in mind that results from using glycolic acid can be individual and the timeframe for visible results may vary depending on your skin type.
